David Yurman: The Perfect Gift For Graduation

Gifts for Graduation

Spring is an evocative time for many of us. It marks the end of the frigid winter and makes way for sunshine and greenery to peek through, although somebody really needs to tell Indiana that it’s supposed to get warm and stay warm. We can finally shed our layers of clothing and toasty heated blankets to hike, barbecue, picnic, and partake in whatever other warm-weather activities we do to lift our spirits. From Easter to Mother’s Day to Memorial Day, it seems there’s always a reason to gather with your loved ones and celebrate. Though not a holiday you’d typically find printed on your wall calendar, springtime graduations are no less important.

Things look a little different for us all this year, I know. Maybe graduation parties are hosted with immediate family only or stripped-down ceremonies take place over video chat. Even though your kids may not be walking across an auditorium stage, it doesn’t make this monumental milestone any less important.

Every Accomplishment Deserves a Celebration

I’ve heard some graduates expressing that their disappointment over not finishing the school year in person and forgoing a “real” graduation feels a bit gauche, all things considered as if there are bigger things to worry about than that. But their greatest achievements should receive attention and praise, no matter the current state of the world. They deserve to be acknowledged and honored. We know that sitting through all those years of high school math class is no easy feat.

Even without a pandemic afoot, the transition from high school to college or college to adult life is hard enough, so now more than ever, it’s important to give people something to feel good about. So why not gift your grad something a little extra special? Even though nothing can replace the thrill of an in-person graduation, a touching and thoughtful gift from a loved one can assure your graduating senior that their accomplishments will not go overlooked.

David Yurman: The Ultimate Graduation Gift

When I think about the perfect versatile gift, my mind immediately goes to David Yurman. Yurman jewelry has a timeless look that transcends any personality, fashion style, and age, depending on what the buyer is looking for, all within an affordable price point. There are classic pieces, on-trend pieces, in rose gold and yellow gold, with diamonds and colored gemstones in any birthstone you could think of. You will easily be able to find something your graduate loves and will cherish for a lifetime.

The cable cuffs are a personal favorite of mine, as they allow you to accumulate a covetable stack of arm candy. Start with one to mark the celebration of a graduation, and add additional bracelets to mark additional milestones throughout life—birthdays, anniversaries, work promotions, etc. And the best part is that they will absolutely never go out of style. (Scout’s honor—the cable bracelet has been in circulation since the ’80s.) Whoever said you can have too much of a good thing obviously hasn’t worn Yurman.

The charm pendant necklaces are so simple and lovely, there really is something for everyone. Also popular are monogrammed signet rings, which is almost like a class ring for trendsetters. Opt for a touch of personalization with an initial or a cross in stunning diamonds. Something small and personalized can remind your grad daily of the love and support that’s out in the world for them.

The beauty of Yurman jewelry (besides the iconic craftsmanship) is the price point. A gift doesn’t have to be over-the-moon expensive to be special. With loads of affordable options at your fingertips, you’re sure to find something exquisite and meaningful that will last a lifetime. Nothing says “I’m proud of you” like that beautiful jewelry that can be worn through the duration of your grad’s life accomplishments.
